Major trial opens in France over diet-pill scandal

Non merci, aller trop vite –

Sept. 23, 2019 – The closely watched trial that opened in Paris is expected to last six months and is one of France’s biggest in years. The trial dossier runs to nearly 700 pages — with around 300 pages taken up by plaintiffs’ names. The trial was spread across five rooms, connected by video-link, at the Paris courthouse and nearly 400 lawyers were working on the case. Guardiola, who has already received a pay-off from Servier, will testify as a witness. She said the drug-maker “ruined my life.” Irène Frachon, a lung specialist who was among the first in France to sound the alarm about Mediator, said the scandal could not be simply brushed aside. “You can’t ‘put it behind you’ when 2,000 people died,” she said. “I’m really counting on this criminal case to put an end to this collective blindness to white collar crimes, especially with regards to what I call pharma-criminality.”
